W. Young Dies LAGOS, NIGERIA - Whitney M. Young, Jr., executive director of the National Urban League, died Thursday, at the age of 49, while swimming at a beach in Lagos. A heart attack was considered a possibility, but an autopsy has been scheduled to determine the actual cause of death. Young was known for his ability to communicate with politicians, corporate leaders and poor and militant blacks. He was a recipient of the Medal of Freedom, this nation's highest civilian award.

VISTA to End WASHINGTON -President Nixon has circulated a confidential plan which would merge all volunteer agencies and cause VISTA to be dismantled. The agency is to be replaced by four new corps, but only a small part of the group's present activities for the poor would be continued. The new agency will center on the concerns of the volunteers and not the needs of the poor. A final decision on the merger has not been made, but a final version is expected to go to Congress this week. The merger includes the Peace Corps, but it will continue to exist as an entity and will deal with international affairs as before.

By MARGARET BLAIR The Longwood College Tutorial Program, originally initiated jointly under the Prince Edward County School Administration and the college, is now in its second year. The program is a cooperative endeavor between the school division, the individual teacher and the tutor who acts as an assistant to the teacher. Girls who are interested in tutoring must meet the six requirements set up by the Prince Edward County School Board: 1) All students must be on the Junior level or above and approved by their Department Chairman. 2) AU students must have at least one course in reading and/or a methods course in techniques and procedures in teaching. 3) Specific problems assigned to the students must be identified by the teacher and Mr. Barham, Assistant Superintendent, prior to assignment. 4) Students will be assigned according to their ability to work with the designated problem. 5) Students must have a 2.0 point average or above. 6) A schedule consisting of the assignments and the time will be prepared by Mr. Barham and a student coordinator (Mary Berlin) and approved by Mr. E.H. Vassar of the Education Department. Each student will have a copy of the schedule. The tutors assist primarily in
the local elementary school for the reason that most problems occur because of reading deficiencies. Early qualified help will avoid deficiences in the upper grades. The tutoring program does use some secondary majors, usually in languages in special areas. Student tutors assist teachers on a voluntary basis, but they must have permission from their parents or guardians. AU tutoring is done on the student's free time, and she works with children both individually and in small groups. The classroom teacher has prepared plans and instructions each day the tutors are scheduled to come. An advantage of the program is that the college .student canaskqualified professors for assistance concerning teaching methods or the usage of materials for aids. Last year, twenty-four Longwood students acted as tutors during the first semester and there were thirty-three second semester. This semester there are eleven student tutors. Some tutors who have already done their student teaching are taking part in the program for more experience. It is hoped that the tutoring program will expand. Currently, it is evaluated by the tutors themselves at the end of each semester, and improvements are suggested. In the future, directors would like to train juniors who, when they become seniors, will train new junior members.
Board Meeting In Dorms Considered Highly Successful By VICKI BOWLING Improving Stubbs Mall was one of the variety of suggestions offered during the question-discussion periods held in each dorm March 8 and 9. Representatives from Legislative, Residence, and Judicial Boards conducted the meetings. Open to all interested students, the meetings are "an attempt by Student Government to go directly to the students instead of the students laving to come to us," according to Frankie Brown, chairman of Legislative Board. Small groups were an advantage, she thought. Ideas and questions were brought up that might never have been introduced in a mass meeting. Frankie was at the meeting in Stubbs. Sorority members wanted to know why they tiad to pay corporation dues every semester. The locking of roof doors was questioned. Why teachers can dock grades if a student has at!«;d two-third:, of the classes and academic probation for teachers were also areas of interest. Suggestions from Stubbs included improving Stubbs Mall,
perhaps by placing benches there. The possibility of instaUingdorm to dorm phones which would require no payment was mentioned. Mary Tabb Johnston, chairman of Residence Board, helped conduct ttie meeting in Main. Many students there were interested in judicial procedure and the new curfew change, she reported. In Curry, Jenny Boykin, a member of Judicial Board, helped answer questions concerning the proposed aJkOtol OBCampti ..Students were interested in what regulations would be if the issue is passed.

Judicial Board actions are based on the Handbook statement found on page 86, "The accused is ALWAYS considered innocent unless proved guilty." Respectfully, Judicial Board
In reference to Miss Reiter's editoral entitled "The Eye Spy Case" of February 24, Judicial Board would like to make the following points clear. 1) No student is brought to trial until a preliminary investigation is made from the facts involved in the case. No disciplinary action is taken without sufficient evidence. 2) Rumor, heresay, and idle gosMisquoted sip are not the basis for any trial or disciplinary action.

An Expression Of Of Thanks We would like to take this opportunity to respond to an article in a recent issue of the ROTUNDA concerning resident counselors. As freshmen, we realize the important role these upperclassmen play in helping us to adjust to college life. During those first few weeks of college, we had many questions and various problems. Knowing ' there was someone who was willing to listen and who was willing to help us, created a more secure feeling amongst our hall. It is good to know that there is an upperclassman on each freshman hall who really does understand, since she has experienced the same situations or very similar ones as we did and will this year. They have meant an awfully lot to us this year and we feel they are doing a very important job. Thank you, resident counselors. Debbie Gore Brenda Price
Public School Response Dear Dr. Sandidge: c/o Editor of the Rotunda I read your "Letter To The Editor" published in the latest issue of THE ROTUNDA with much interest, pride, and hope. It is very refreshing to find a citizen in Prince Edward County who is aware of what is happening in the public schools and is willing to publicly support and promote public education. Far too many persons are willing to support us verbally and in private only. (Continued on Page 8)
'Wuthering Heights' Poorly Cast, Great Disappointment
LOOK BACK IN ANGER BY JOHN OSBORNE
MARCH 18-19-20, 1971, 7:30 P.M. JARMAN AUDITORIUM Quotes By BELINDA BRUGH The wrong people going hungry, the wrong people being loved, the wrong people dying. I thought if you loved me it didn't matter. I've always wanted you - always! He's a sloppy irritating bastard ... more uplift than a film starlit Do you feel sin crawling out of your ears? If you slap my face-God, I'll lay you out! Sycophantic, phlegmatic, and of course, top of the bill - pusillanimous I'm in the fire, and I'm burning, and all I want is to die. Horrifying and oddly exciting Why, why, why, why do we let these women bleed us to death? Have you ever watched somebody die? And you think I should be overcome with awe because that cruel, stupid girl is going to have a baby! A silly symphony for people who couldn't bear the pain of being human beings any longer. LOOK BACK IN ANGER-March 18, 19, 20- 7:30 p.m.-Jarman Auditorium - directed by Harvey Sneideman — produced by the Longwood Players and the Hampden-Sydney Jongleurs.
By LYNNE PIERCE "Wuthering Heights" is an "all new adventure in entertainment" and "Emily Bronte's immortal story of defiant young love," or so the theater and producer would like you to believe. Unfortunately, the movie is far from im■nortal and the greatest adventure in it is discovering where Patrick Tilley found the strange copy of Miss Bronte's book that he used to base his screenplay on. To the viewer who has not read the original novel, the discrepancies in the story are not noticeable; however, anyone who is familiar with the book is in for a shock. The time sequence is clumsily handled, often confusing and bears little resemblance to that in the book. The ending, however, is the most surprising point of the movie. I could not help but wonder how I missed Heathcliff being shot when I read the book, but then perhaps I read a different version than that used by Mr. Tilley. The performances of the actors could have been a redeeming factor for the movie, but instead were a severe disappointment. Anna Calder-Marshall is at best a mediocre Cathy. Emily Bronte's character was a wild, but extremely beautiful, creature of the moors, with a temper no one could stand up to, but as Miss Calder-Marshall portrays her, Cathy becomes a simpering, spoiled brat and loses the power given her in the novel. Timothy Dalton is almost believable as Heathcliff, but he lacks the ability to be convincing in the role. He has tried very hard to perfect his wild, angry look, but he ends up looking like an old man, who peers at everything over the top of his glasses instead of through them. "Wuthering Heights" cannot be considered a complete waste due to the outstanding camera work and landscape the movie was shot against, A striking feature of the book was the importance Emily Bronte accorded to the moors and this was captured in the film. The rolling lull., dotted with ancient ruins and laced with wild, overgrown moors, do more to set the mood than anything else. The use of colors and tone is outstanding. By far, the best scenes of the movie consist of the camera panning the countryside with the music of Michel Legrand in the background. This alone has enough aesthetic appeal to dull the effects of the rest of the movie to the point of toleration.

"Instead of remaining in cliques in their rooms, out of school hours to spend their time in gossip and scandal, the young ladies are encouaged to assemble with the teachers in the parlors and library with needlework or book."

By LYNDA VAN HORN "Students must get permission from the President of the College or from the Head of the Home to leave town" This is one oi the many rules set down in the 1931 edition of the State Teachers College Handbook. This weekend Longwood will celebrate Founders Day with dedicatory services of the new buildings on campus. It is interesting to look back into the history of the college and into the type of school life the average student led.
had added in this catalogue information concerning honor and regulations of the college. In order to imitate a family atmosphere, the college's aim was to "rule by love and not by penalties: demerits are sparingly used, espionage strictly avoided, the honor and self-respect of the pupil constantly appealed to." There were few written regulations at the college, but those stated in the catalogue were quite conclusive and limiting. Girls living at the college were not allowed to leave the grounds at any time except through express permission. The students were not allowed to receive visitors during school or study hours "nor the visits of young gentlemen at any time except at the discretion of the President." Parents in this year were urged to send their daughters spending money to be kept for her by some officer of the college as the "President cannot advance money to pay for books, stationery, express or freight charges, or like incidental expenses." College Given To The State In 1884 because of war and lack of operating funds for the college, a group of Farmville citizens purchased the old Female Seminary or College and offered the buildings to the state to set up a "normal" or teaching institution in Prince Edward County. On March 7, 1884, the state legislature passed an act establishing the State Female Normal School. This was the first State
institution in Virginia for women to acquire higher education. In the first college catalogue of the Normal School is recorded the purpose of the school. It was established "for the education of white female teachers for the free public schools of the state of Virginia." There was no admission charge for those students who signed a pledge saying they would teach at least two years immediately upon graduation from the college. There were at least 88 of these students from across the state. There was also no charge for area ministers' daughters. Three girls attended under this category. There were also 30 students - bringing the total to 120— who did not sign the pledge and paid a yearly fee of $30. For the first time admission requirements were expressly stated. The candidates for admission must be recommended by the Superintendent of Schools in their respective city or county. Each county and city was alloted a certain number that could be recommended. Educational requirements were rather vague and not at all easily determined: Minimum literacy requirements included; "the ability to read fluently, and to express thoughts in grammatical English, to write a fair hand, to spell correctly, to solve problems of moderate difficulty under all the ordinary rules of arithmetic; to locate the principal cities, rivers, and mountains of the world and to give the boundaries of any specific State of the
Union, to describe the leading events in the history of the United States." In 1914 the School dropped the "Female" from its title and became the State Normal School for Women. Officially A Teacher's College It was officially recognized as a teachers college in 1924 when the name was again changed to State Teachers College at Farmville. In the earliest Student Handbook of this college on record issued in 1931 are many of the regulations placed on the girls, For example, all students were required to attend all meals and all classes. Excuses were allowed "on account of accident, illness for an hour or so, or bad news." No student was allowed to smoke or to leave or return to the college "with young men without special permission from the President or the Head of the Home." The Head of the Home is similar to the present day Dean of Women. Longwood
It was not until 1949 that Longwood College got its present name taken from "Longwood," the birthplace of Confederate General Joseph E. Johnston. Saturday faculty, alumni, and students will join to celebrate the growth of a college for over a century at festivities of Founders Day.

Longwood's Fencing Team showed their true skill as they captured the title of Number One Virginia State Fencing Team in the Intercollegiate Tournament held here in Her Gym on Saturday, March 13. The first team, which is composed of Mary Frances Baldwin, Temple Harvey and Jo Anne Canada, started the tournament off fencing the Hollins College team. They quickly defeated Hollins' team 2-1 and moved up in the winners' column. Madison College was their next opponent, and again LC came out on top by a score of 2-1. Radford College, whom Longwood had lost to earlier in the season, became the next contender for the semifinal position. Longwood again came through with a victory of 2-1 and moved to the finals, facing Penn State University. The meet was fenced on a double elimination system, meaning that each team had to be defeated twice before they were disqualified from further competition. Longwood, who up to this point had not lost to any team, faced Penn State, who had to defeat LC twice in order to capture the first team title. Scores in these bouts were 2-1 and 3-0 with Penn State winning. However, Longwood had not lost entirely. Former students of Dr. Caroline Sinclair, a former fencing instructor and coach in various Virginia colleges, do-
nated this year an award in her honor to be given to the top Virginia State Team.Since Longwood had worked themselves up to a place in the finals, they were declared Virginia's top fencing team out of eight other Virginia colleges competing for the honor. Two Moke Top Six
For the individual competition, six fencers from the first team division who had won the most bouts fought, were chosen. Longwood's Temple Harvey and Mary Frances Baldwin both gained a position in the top six fencers of the Intercollegiate Tournament. These top six then fenced each other to obtain a number one fencer. Temple Harvey, showing much skill for a first year fencer, won the third place award in this division. Mary Baldwin finished fifth. The number one spot went to Clare Tate of Penn State. Other places were: second, Anne Elmore, N. C. State; fourth, Mary Karondosouski, Penn State; and sixth, Mary Jane Ferrell, Radford. Coach Takes Second
Miss Sally Bush, Longwood's Fencing Coach, took second place In the Open Division. The Open Division, which includes college coaches and alumni, had nine entries this year.

Karate Demonstration To Show Skill And Poise
Photo By Smith
Karate a sport for all who arc Kamr. By SYLVIA SMITH Phil Woodward and Nick D'Ambrosia, will perform a Karate Exhibition at 7:30, March 21, in Der Gym. The exhibition is sponsored by the Oriental Society. The Supermen of Karate work faster than speeding bullets. Their speed makes the difference. Through several years of careful training the karate students learn the precision skills necessary to perform their art. The program will include some exercises; katas, kicks, one step sparring and finally free sparring — tournament style. Their stretching and limbering exercises are like ballet, slow and graceful. Katas are formal drills in which the participants, from a standing position execute blocks and kicks. The one-step sparring is a training effort to acquaint the reflexes with the skills used in counter moves. Finally the free-sparring demonstrates a real tournament situation of one to one contact and attack. Like the ll.i. Karate commercial, Phil and Nick will break bricks and boards too, but in

controlled methods. Nick will break seven one-inch boards at once and Phil will break dangling boards at seven feet. Both boys studied karate in the D.C. area. Phil studied with Jhoon Rhee, a native of Korea. Rhee is one of the best in the country and "The Black Belt," a karate magazine in California has called him "The Pied Piper of Korean Karate." The Kwon Do form of Korean Karate, which Phil studied, is the most popular in Vietnam, where it is used in hand-to-hand combat. This Kwon Do form is the most graceful and brutal type of karate. Nick studied at an Air Force base in Alexandria. His concentration is Bondo Karate and he is especially good at breaking. This form uses the power of the fingers, using a spear thrust method of attack, and is more offensive. Karate is more than chopping blocks. It is a sport that breeds self-confidence. One thousand, five hundred pounds of thrust are concentrated at the point of impact. Total muscle concentration gives 100% efficiency against an opponent or in breaking. The main body forces are the hips, shoulder motion, and stomach tension. The Karate yell, from the stomach, is also useful. Besides scaring the opponent it helps release the extreme tension in the stomach. Both Phil and Nick have earned their brown belts, second only to the black belt, the highest order of karate. Following the exhibition there will be a question and answer session in the Iler classroom. Refreshments will be served.
Welfare Services Increasing In Prince Edward County Mr. George P. Stone, director of Social Services in Prince Edward County, was the guest speaker at a meeting of the Human Relations Council in the First Baptist Church on March 11, at 8 p.m. Speaking on the welfare system in Prince Edward County, Mr. Stone explained the structure of the system and the various services offered by the poor. He said that the Welfare Department is different in that it has divided loyalty, receiving federal, state, and local funds. There are alsodifferent services offered by each division. Within the federal structure there are four major programs, aid to dependent children, aid to the blind, old age assistance, and aid to the permanently disabled (ages 18-65). There are several state and locally ministered services. Medicade is paid for by the t.ite through tax revenue. The Foster Care Program provides for children committed by the i the parents. At this tinii- Farmville lias placed thirtytwo children in foster homes.

"Dean 's " Luncheonette Enjoys Serving Students By CHRISTINE SHARPE "Dean's," theluncheonettebehind Stubbs, has been open for 24 years and has been catering to Longwood students for 15 years. In an interview with Mrs. Dean she freely discussed her relationship with Longwood and its students as a result of the luncheonette's proximity to the college. Mrs. Dean said that she made many friends of Longwood students who frequent the luncheonette. "A majority of the students who come here are from Richmond and Roanoke," she said, "but we get them from all over." Graduates of Longwood still come back to visit with the Deans. Once asked by a customer where the Longwood girls got their manners, Mrs. Dean replied, "They come to school with their manners. They're just excellent." She said that all of the girls that she and her husband come in contact with are very nice. Longwood students have been eating at the luncheonette for the past 15 years. At first the students who were student teaching at the local high school stopped there on their way to and
from the high school. Soon other students began to eat there or just stop in for ice cream or a coke. When Stubbs and Lankford were being built the Deans "felt like a part" of Longwood. They served many of the workmen. Then when the dormitory was completed many students from Stubbs visited the luncheonette. Now not only students but also teachers have their lunch at "Dean's." When asked her feelings about Longwood, Mrs. Dean said, "The college has helped the community to grow and it is an asset to business." Why do Longwood students go to "Dean's"? Mrs. Dean felt that they go there "just to relax" and to get away from it all. Many students go there during exam time to study in the quiet and restful atmosphere. "Dean's Luncheonette" is a quiet place to get away from it all and enjoy a pleasant meal. One Longwood junior said, "We used to get the best hamburgers there my freshman year and for only 25?." The atmosphere and good food can still be found at "Dean's but due to inflation the hamburgers are now 30?.
Flat Hat Obscenity Charges Dropped By LYNNE PIERCE The "obscenity" issue involving the Flat Hat, William and Mary's newspaper, was settled temporarily last week when the Board of Student Affairs accepted a report submitted to it by Publications Committee, which absolved the charges against the paper. After reviewing the letters of complaint and the testimony of Editor-in-Chief Tom McDonald, the Publications Committee issued a statement that it could not "claim complete understanding of what constitutes obscenity" and, since the editor had made every effort to correct his mistake, it felt the charges against him and the paper should be dropped. The recommendation also warned "it is a dangerous practice to challenge an editor's prerogative to exercise his own discretion in deciding what is essential to accurate reporting."

The committee's report was passed on the Board of Student Affairs where it met with opposition, but was finally endorsed. Debate broke out in the meeting over the fact that McDonald, as a member of the Publications Committee, had participated in drawing up the report. The recommendation has been sent to President Paschall, who can accept or disregard the report as he chooses. Best Withes For A Successful FOUNDER'S DAY

1. It was suggested that page 81— section 1 of the Handbook be changed from "Lyinc is defined as:" to "Lying may include:*'. 2. It was suggested that the following additions be included in the PREAMBLE to the Legislative Board Regulations, page 48 of the Handbook: "Longwood College ascribes to and abides by the JointStatements of Rights and Responsibilities of Students and Fundamentals of College Law. Copies of these are on file in the offices of the President of the College, the Dean of Students and the Student Government. 3. It was suggested that page 48 section 1 Social Conduct be changed to "Students are expected to conduct themselves in accordance with the rules and regulations of the college" and that page 37 - Section 19 Unlady-like conduct be eliminated. .4. The following changes in page 48 - Section 4 Dating were suggested: a. "All girls are expected to abide by regulations as set forth by other colleges and/ or theInterfraternity Councils; violations will be dealt with by the host college." b.

State Court Rules Riot Act Violates Right Of Assembly By LYNNE PIERCE The Virginia Supreme Court ruled last week that an important part of the 1968 antiriot act is unconstitutional because it is "over broad." The ruling came in a case involving two Charlottesville men, William Sylvester Owens and Roy Lee Ferguson, Jr., who were arrested and tried shortly after the act became a law. Owens and Ferguson were arrested on September 8, 1968, during disturbances in Chariottesville and sentenced to six months in jail. In appealing the case, a lawyer for the men charged that the law infringed on the rights of free speech and peaceful assembly guaranteed in the UJS. and Virginia Constitutions. The court upheld the motion and stated in its opinion that the act makes an assembly of persons for exciting public alarm or disturbing the peace unlawful. However, it fails to meet the common law interpretation which requires a clear and present danger of violent conduct to be involved. Under the law, a peaceful, silent gathering to discuss public danger or pollution would be unlawfuL The court declared the act to be unconstitutional because it conflicts with the First Amendment of the ILS. Constitution. The convictions of Owens and Ferguson were ordered to be reversed because they were convicted under a statutory definition the court will not accept. The law could be saved by two alterations according to the court. It could be amended to exclude those assemblies protected by the First Amendment and it must be qualified so that ■ a clear and present danger of violence is involved in order for the assembly to be unlawfuL
Colleges In The News Professors Sue
RADFORD - Four professors are suing Radford College in a case which names Dr. Charles K. Martin, the college president, as a co-defendant. The four were notified that their employment would be terminated at the end of this academic year and they have charged that this action is in no way connected with their academic competence. The local chapter of the NEA is supporting the professors and is seeking assistance from the national group. Boycott ot VPI
BLACKSBURG - SGA President Sandy Hawthorne has declared a student boycott of the University Bookstore, dining hall snack bars and all drink and candy machines on the VPI campus. Hawthorne stated two goals for the action — "We want to demonstrate to the University that they can be hurt. ..and that students are capable of sustaining a long term political action." Student volunteers began selling candy and drinks in the dorm to replace the machines and local stores are stocking textbooks. SGA Censure Fails
RICHMOND - An attempt to censure President Jim Elamwas defeated by tlie House of Representatives at VCU. The action was prompted when Elam confessed he had not been signing all bills passed by the Congress, although the school constitution requires him to do so. The censure failed mainly due to the bet that bills become law without being signed unless Elam notifies the Congress differently. Drug Charges ot U.Vo.
CHARLOTTESVILLE - Ted Foote, former president of the Interfraternity Council, announced that drug cases at U. Va. may be handled by city and state police without first notifying University officials. State police have notified the Dean of Students that they are discontent with the handling of students caught with drugs. Previously, flagrant use of drugs was handled by the Governing Board of the IFC, which has only handed down warnings to the fraternities. No definite decision has been made as to who will control drug cases in the fraternities or whether there will be a change of policy concerning the dormitories. Joint Council at W&L
LEXINGTON - Washington & Lee University has taken a definite step in putting policy control on an equal level between students and administrarion.The first meeting of the newly formed University Council, which will consist of students, faculty and administration, took place recently and made the important decision to have co-chairmen, with one student and one administrator elected to the posts. The council agreed to meetings scheduled monthly and for them to be open to the public; however, the council can be called to a meeting anytime by a chairman or by two-thirds of the body. The council faces a range of issues which could include drugs, ROTC credit, coeducation and dormitory and fraternity rules as a start.

LC Students Profit From Observing At Campus School By LYNNE WILSON Longwood's Campus School, which opened in August of 1970, is a working example of Longwood's approach to education. An academic department of Longwood with its own allocations from the state, the Campus School is operated by an excellent faculty with access to modern equipment and teaching aids. According to Dr. Lee Land, principal of the Campus School, the primary purpose of the school is the correlation of theory and practice in Longwood's teacher training program. The school allows the future teachers to observe and work with the basic teaching techniques studied in the classroom. Two programs have been set up at the school for Longwood students. The first is the teacher observation program usually involving freshmen and sophomores. It is usually arranged through an education course, but all students are welcome to request a time to visit the school and observe the classes. With as many as six girls observing at once, the class simply continues its routine work. By April the Campus School will have closed circuit TV's so the Longwood students will be able to observe while not actually in the classroom. Students will observe live classes on TV in the Miner Building, or if the college class wishes to see the program at the campus school and discuss the classroom activities with Dr. Land, there is a college student's room set up for this purpose. The advantages of the closed circuit TV are obvious. The classes can be taped and viewed over and over. Should a question arise concerning the class, the tape can be played back and the question cleared up. By observing the class via TV, the Longwood students are free to comment, ask questions, or discuss the class in progress. When asked if the observers distracted students or teachers at the campus school, Dr. Land said little or no attention was paid to the observers. He does not anticipate any problems when the TV goes into use either. Wearing a cordless mike, the teacher will move about the room and conduct class as usual. The second program incorporated at the campus school for Longwood students is the program of participation. The Longwood student acts as a teaching assistant from 8:00 to 3:00 for two successive days. Elementary trainees will assist in one of the grades from one through five. Secondary majors will assist in the sixth or seventh grade. The girls will perform a variety of functions during their two days, including giving special assistance to students with questions, grading papers, making out tests or working with the office equipment.

When asked how this came about Frankie Brown said, "So many fraternities have sweethearts, so why couldn't we? We wanted someone who wasn't someone's boy friend, someone we could all be friends with." Many of the sisters had met him at Tom's Campus Room and when he visited the chapter room during open house. All the girls liked him immediately and when he was nominated for "Pi Guy" he received a unanimous vote. At least twenty of the sisters drove to Hampden-Sydney that night and serenaded Tommy outside his window at Cushing Dormitory. "My roommates knew what was going to happen and they had been acting funny all night. They were really giving me a lot of grief." When Tommy heard the girls outside he realized what was happening. He became the official "Pi Guy" during a ceremony held in the chapter toom. "I felt kind offunny," Tommy said, "It's not an everyday occurrence."

The three ladies clapped and shouted — the response? An embarrased silence.
Williamsburg Speakers Shout To An Unresponsive Crowd WARNING: "Do not try to get involved in a riot. However, in the event of a police riot, remember that everyone within the assembly will be considered a rioter. Get out of the range of fire. If tear gas is used, try to throw the canister away from the crowds." This was a rather stiff warning given to a group of 2,000 students who gathered at the William and Mary Amphitheater last Thursday to "consider an alternative view of peace and justice." It was evident that the peaceful group of 2,000 that had gathered had other more important things on their mind besides rioting. They considered the sun, Lake Matoaka, and how much of a donation to give for the free hotdogs, cokes, and fruit. As they ate their free food, they partially listened to the day long speakers who yelled, chanted, shook their fists, and quoted pages of' Nixon propaganda in an attempt to rouse the unresponsive crowd." Perhaps part of the lack of spirit lay in the fact that many students were disappointed when John Froines, one of the Chicago defendants, and Leonard Weinglass, a lawyer for the Chicago conspiracy trial cancelled because of personal reasons. Of the speakers who were pres-
ent, however, there were only two who received any sort of response from the college crowd. Rennie Davis, one of the Chicago 7 defendants and the organizer of the Peoples Coalition for Peace managed to gain a standing ovation, as did Allan Ginsberg, the poet. Ginsberg introduced to the crowd, "the long hum" which consisted of three hums in succession. The single syllable sound, as explained by Ginsberg was to "unify the body in a single gesture of rhythmic behavior." But, the day as a whole was to many individuals "disappointing." It became evident that the war movement has slowed down considerably and the once active students of last year's marches seem to be disinterested, and tired of protesting in the streets. This unresponsive attitude on the part of the former marchers for peace can lead one to ask, where is the peace movement? One can further speculate on the turn out for the planned April 24 offensive against Washington.
